That's better. Now it looks like there would be black clouds above it,
though.

The general impression is of course: this is about technology, about
hardware.

I create different version - I rotate it and create blue glow (the dimension is
1024x576).

It looks nice if you resize proportionally to 1024x640 and then crop to 1024x576
removing the bottom part.

Thank you!

The video was originally made for our screencast project (
http://www.ubuntu.org.ni/pildoras). There's going to be at least five
different videos that people can use to promote Ubuntu at conferences and
fairs. We use blip.tv because it's easier to upload .ogv videos there, but I
uploaded it also to youtube and flickr and will (hopefully, when I have some
time :) upload it to vimeo.

We have _a lot_ of pictograms that we use for presentations. We have a
mandatory policy in our LoCo to make everything we do (artwork,
presentations, tutorials, videos) available for download under a free
license (we recommend PD0 for works that don't have the Ubuntu brand and
CC-BY or CC-BY-SA for everything else).

The idea with the pictograms was to categorize and upload them to
SpreadUbuntu. I've already uploaded the first ones:

http://spreadubuntu.org/en/node/508

I'll try to upload the rest later this week.

It would be a good idea to post something to http://ccmixter.org/forums and
http://www.jamendo.com/en/community.

Thank you for your contribution.

I think we should avoid text and logos on wallpapers (except if woven
into the fabric of the wallpaper in a subtle way, perhaps).

It was on oversight on my part to not mention that in the spec. So now I
added:
 * No logo and no text. Such elements attract too much attention.
Constantly reminding the user of the name of the distribution does not
communicate confidence.


Jakub: I would like to see a version (or versions) of your wallpaper
without the logo/text and with glowing schematics. Also a rotation such
that no lines are horizontal or vertical could be interesting. Remember,
the wallpaper should speak of performance and lightness.
